What I attempt to capture, to enclose, as a kind of homage, is a form around which on every surface it is possible to trace a continuous line that holds frozen in its moment, the flux, shape and movement of the billions of particles that nature draws together from their unbridled chaos to create pure natural beauty...that is the essence of my practice…”
Richard Hudson (b. 1954, Yorkshire, England) is a celebrated British sculptor known for his fluid, organic forms that range from intimate works to monumental public installations. Drawing inspiration from modernist pioneers such as Jean Arp, Constantin Brancusi, and Henry Moore, Hudson masterfully blurs the lines between abstraction and figuration. His sculptures reimagine classical themes with a distinctly contemporary voice—characterized by smooth, sweeping curves and mirror-polished surfaces in materials like stainless steel, marble, wood, and bronze.
At the heart of Hudson’s practice is a deep exploration of beauty, form, and the human figure—especially the feminine. Through abstraction, exaggeration, and moments of playful wit, he distills essential elements of sensuality and balance. His large-scale work Tear, installed outside Madison Square Garden in New York, stands as a striking example of his ability to captivate through scale, line, and reflective surface. Hudson’s sculptures are held in leading private collections, museums, and foundations worldwide. His installations can be admired in prestigious settings—from the historic grounds of Chatsworth House in England, the Donum Estate, the DIFC Headquarters in Dubai and galleries and institutions across Beijing, Dallas, Marbella, Valencia, and Mallorca.
A hands-on and prolific artist, Hudson brings a tactile sensitivity to his materials, always guided by an intuitive response to their physical and aesthetic properties. His work engages with themes spanning art history, psychology, anthropology, and philosophy, using flowing, reflective forms to evoke ideas of femininity, fertility, and our evolving relationship with nature.
